• 1:07
  Suddenly,
• 1:07
  the
• 1:08
  festive
• 1:08
  atmosphere
• 1:09
  is
• 1:09
  shattered
• 1:09
  when

  a

  seriously

  As

• 2:09
  Big

  Bill
• 2:10
  Edwards
• 2:10
  was
• 2:10
  defined
• 2:11
  by
• 2:11
  his
• 2:11
  intense
• 2:11
  determination
• 2:12
  and
• 2:13
  meticulous
• 2:13

• 2:14
  Born
• 2:15
  in
• 2:15
  Lyle,
• 2:15
  New
• 2:15
  York,
• 2:16
  he
• 2:16
  worked
• 2:16
  incredibly
• 2:17
  hard
• 2:17
  as

• 2:20
  Kisky
• 2:20
  Prep
• 2:21
  in
• 2:21
  Salzburg,
• 2:21
  Pennsylvania.
• 2:22
  His
• 2:23
  ultimate
• 2:23
  goal
• 2:23
  was
• 2:23
  to
• 2:23
  earn
• 2:24
  a
• 2:24
  college
• 2:25
  diploma
• 2:25
  and
• 2:25
  he
• 2:26
  dedicated
• 2:26
  himself
• 2:26
  to
• 2:27
  gaining
• 2:27
  admission
• 2:27
  into
• 2:27
  Princeton
• 2:28
  University.
• 2:29
  Once
• 2:29
  there,
• 2:29
  he
• 2:30
  proved
• 2:30
  his

• 2:33
  but
• 2:33
  also
• 2:34
  working

  his
• 2:34
  way
• 2:34
  through
• 2:35
  school
• 2:35
  to
• 2:35
  succeed
• 2:35
  academically.
• 2:36
  His
• 2:37
  dedication
• 2:37
  in
• 2:38
  the
• 2:38
  classroom
• 2:38
  culminated
• 2:39
  in
• 2:39
  his
• 2:39
  1900
• 2:40
  graduation
• 2:41
  where
• 2:42
  he
• 2:42
  was
• 2:42
  honored
• 2:42
  as
• 2:43
  a
• 2:43
  class
• 2:43
  orator
• 2:44
  and
• 2:44
  master
• 2:44
  of
• 2:45
  ceremonies.
• 2:45
  But
• 2:46
  while
• 2:46
  he
• 2:46
  achieved
• 2:46
  his
• 2:47
  academic
• 2:47
  goals,
• 2:47
  his
• 2:48
  physical
• 2:48
  prowess
• 2:49
  would
• 2:49
  soon
• 2:49
  make
• 2:50
  him
• 2:50
  a
• 2:50
  campus
• 2:51
  legend.
• 2:52
  A

  presence
• 2:54
  on
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  field,
• 2:54
  Edwards
• 2:55
  was
• 2:55
  a
• 2:55
  dominant
• 2:56
  force
• 2:56
  who
• 2:56
  routinely
• 2:57
  overwhelmed
• 2:57
  the
• 2:58
  opposition.
• 2:59
  Playing

  guard
• 2:59
  for
• 2:59
  the

• 3:00
  from
• 3:00
  1896
• 3:01
  to
• 3:01
  1899,
• 3:02
  he
• 3:02
  was
• 3:03
  a
• 3:03
  powerful
• 3:03
  anchor
• 3:04
  of
• 3:04
  the
• 3:04

  ability
• 3:05
  to
• 3:05
  make
• 3:05
  big
• 3:06
  plays
• 3:06
  and
• 3:06
  control
• 3:06
  the

• 3:09

• 3:10
  in

  1898
• 3:11
  and
• 3:11
  and
• 3:11
  1899.
• 3:12
  In
• 3:12
  his
• 3:13
  senior
• 3:13
  season,
• 3:14
  he
• 3:14
  ran

  reputation

  for

  toughness,
• 4:57
  Edwards
• 4:57
  displayed
• 4:58
  remarkable
• 4:58
  and
• 4:59
  admirable
• 4:59
  self
• 5:00
  control,
• 5:00
  opting
• 5:01
  to
• 5:01
  professionally
• 5:01
  eject
• 5:02
  Wasaka
• 5:03
  rather
• 5:03
  than
• 5:03
  retaliate.
• 5:04
  When
• 5:05
  the
• 5:05
  legendary
• 5:05
  coach
• 5:06
  Pop
• 5:06
  Warner
• 5:06
  stormed
• 5:07
  onto
• 5:07
  the
• 5:07
  field
• 5:07
  of
• 5:07
  protest,
• 5:08
  Edwards
• 5:09
  and
• 5:09
  referee
• 5:10
  Walter
• 5:10
  Akhuson
• 5:11
  stood
• 5:12
  their
• 5:12
  ground,
• 5:12
  tossing
• 5:13
  Warner
• 5:13
  from
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  game
• 5:13
  as
• 5:14
  well.
• 5:14
  Though
• 5:15
  Carlisle
• 5:15
  remained
• 5:16
  resentful
• 5:16
  towards
• 5:16
  Edwards
• 5:17
  for
• 5:17
  previously
• 5:18
  scouting
• 5:18
  their
• 5:18
  plays
• 5:19
  for
• 5:19
  his
• 5:19
  alma
• 5:19
  mater,
• 5:20
  his
• 5:20
  firm
• 5:21
  handling
• 5:21
  of
• 5:21
  the
• 5:21
  1909
• 5:22
  melee
• 5:22
  solidified
• 5:23
  his
• 5:23
  reputation
• 5:24
  as
• 5:24
  an
• 5:24
  official
• 5:25
  who
• 5:25
  could
• 5:25
  maintain
• 5:26
  order
• 5:26
  and
• 5:26
  and
• 5:27
  even
• 5:27
  the
• 5:27
  umpire
• 5:28
  strikes
• 5:28
  back
• 5:29
  as
• 5:29
  a
• 5:29
  literal
• 5:30
  possibility.
• 5:31
  However,
• 5:31
  his
• 5:32
  football
• 5:32
  training
• 5:32
  would
• 5:33
  lead
• 5:33
  to
• 5:33
  the
• 5:33
  biggest
• 5:33
  tackle
• 5:34
  and
• 5:34
  peacemaking
• 5:35
  event
• 5:35
  of
• 5:36
  his
• 5:36
  life.
• 5:37
  Following
• 5:38
  his
• 5:38
  graduation,
• 5:39
  Big
• 5:39
  Bill
• 5:39
  pursued
• 5:40
  political
• 5:40
  aspirations
• 5:40
  in
• 5:41
  New
• 5:41
  York
• 5:41
  City,
• 5:41
  taking
• 5:42
  on
• 5:42
  roles
• 5:42
  such
• 5:42
  as
• 5:43
  a
• 5:43
  deputy
• 5:43
  of
• 5:43
  street
• 5:43
  cleaning
• 5:44
  and
• 5:44
  eventually
• 5:45
  working
• 5:45
  his
• 5:45
  way
• 5:45
  within
• 5:46
  the
• 5:46
  powerful
• 5:46
  Tammany
• 5:47
  hall
• 5:47
  government
• 5:47
  machine.
• 5:49
  By
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  summer
• 5:49
  of
• 5:49
  1910,
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  political
• 5:50
  atmosphere
• 5:51
  was
• 5:51
  incredibly
• 5:52
  tense.
• 5:52
  Both
• 5:53
  Edwards
• 5:53
  and
• 5:53
  Mayor
• 5:54
  Gaynor
• 5:54
  were
• 5:55
  highly
• 5:55
  visible
• 5:56
  figures
• 5:56
  within
• 5:56
  the
• 5:57
  political
• 5:57
  system,
• 5:57
  making
• 5:58
  them
• 5:58
  targets
• 5:59
  for
• 5:59
  public
• 5:59
  frustration.
• 6:00
  This
• 6:01
  threat
• 6:01
  became
• 6:01
  a
• 6:01
  reality
• 6:02
  on
• 6:02
  August
• 6:02
  9th
• 6:02
  when
• 6:03
  Gallagher,
• 6:04
  a
• 6:04
  discharged
• 6:04
  city
• 6:05
  employee
• 6:05
  who
• 6:05
  felt
• 6:05
  the
• 6:06
  machine
• 6:06
  had
• 6:06
  robbed
• 6:07
  him
• 6:07
  of
• 6:07
  his
• 6:07
  bread
• 6:08
  and
• 6:08
  butter,
• 6:08
  decided
• 6:09
  to
• 6:09
  take
• 6:09
  a
• 6:09
  violent
• 6:10
  revenge
• 6:10
  on
• 6:10
  the
• 6:10
  mayor.
• 6:11
  The
• 6:12
  gun
• 6:12
  went
• 6:12
  off.
• 6:12
  Big
• 6:13
  Bill
• 6:13
  Edwards
• 6:13
  didn't
• 6:14
  hesitate.
• 6:14
  Relying
• 6:15
  on
• 6:15
  his
• 6:15
  gridiron
• 6:16
  instincts,
• 6:16
  he
• 6:16
  violently
• 6:17
  tackled
• 6:17
  and
• 6:18
  subdued
• 6:18
  the
• 6:18
  armed
• 6:18
  assassin,
• 6:19
  pinning
• 6:19
  him
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  the
• 6:20
  ground
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  prevent
• 6:21
  any
• 6:21
  further
• 6:21
  injury
• 6:22
  to
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  mayor
• 6:22
  or
• 6:23
  the
• 6:23
  crowd.
• 6:24
  During
• 6:24
  the
• 6:24
  ferocious
• 6:25
  struggle.
• 6:25
  Edwards
• 6:26
  was
• 6:26
  shot,
• 6:26
  sustaining
• 6:27
  a
• 6:27
  flesh
• 6:27
  wound
• 6:28
  to
• 6:28
  his
• 6:28
  arm,
• 6:28
  but
• 6:29
  his
• 6:29
  heroic
• 6:29
  and
• 6:30
  selfless
• 6:30
  actions
• 6:31
  saved
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  day
• 6:31
  and
• 6:32
  Mayor
• 6:32
  Gaynor
• 6:33
  ultimately
• 6:33
  survived
• 6:33
  the
• 6:34
  assassination
• 6:34
  attempt.
• 6:35
  For
• 6:35
  his
• 6:35
  incredible
• 6:36
  bravery,
• 6:36
  Edwards
• 6:37
  won
• 6:37
  the
• 6:37
  international
• 6:38
  acclaim
• 6:39
  as
• 6:39

  continued

  his

  successful
• 6:43
